SB 10.54.26
yavan na me hato banaih
 sayitha muñca darikam
smayan krsno dhanus chittva
 sadbhir vivyadha rukminam

Translation:
“Release the girl before You are struck dead by my arrows and made to lie down!” In response to this, Lord Krsna smiled, and with six arrows He struck Rukmi and broke his bow.

Purport:
Srila Visvanatha Cakravarti points out that in fact Lord Krsna was meant to lie down together with Rukmini on a beautiful bed of flowers, but out of shyness Rukmi did not directly mention this point.
